The <l>...</l> indicates whitespace. So this is appropriate.

This example is not valid OSIS. A <l> element can only be a child of
an <lg> element and the <lg> element does not allow for "mixed"
content. That is, in this example,
The Lord is my shepherd should be in a <l>. (and "He take me to lush
pastures," and "He restores my strength", ...)
The other problem is that the example ends in a </div> but there is
no corresponding <div>.

The handling of <l> is difficult, as the pair of </l><l> indicates a
line break.
Since <l> is an element of a <lg> the first <l> does not indicate a
line break and neither does the last </l>.
So it is the near adjacency of </l> and <l> that does (there are a
few things that can be between a line end and a line begin.)
If Sword 1.5.8 does not handle this paring correctly I think it is a
bug.
In this case, I think that it would be prudent for a renderer to add
a space at the end of each line, as it would be visible only under
the most rare conditions.
